VERDON OXYGENE
Place Sainte-Anne
F 83630 LES SALLES-SUR-VERDON

Almost a year passed since we received the stairlift offered for Maxime, thanks to the Natureman Var donations . It was an important support and we remember how lucky we are. Thanks again and long live to this amazing Race...

Little reminder :

Maxime is a 15 years old boy, diagnosed with West syndrome. This is an acurate form of epilepsy caused by brain damage that causes intellectual and motor disabilities. In fact, Maxime isn't autonomous. He can't stand, walk, talk, eat alone, be clean...
He made some progress thanks to the professional (physiotherapist, occupational and psychomotor therapist) of ADAPEI « IME les Petits Princes » (Medical Centre) of Saint Just St Rambert and with his speech therapist.
We share with him all the possible sporting activities like skiing in tandem, hiking with a Joelette (a single wheel all-terrain chair), adapted cycling; materials that we give to other parents in the same situation... Maxime looks like us, happy in life despite his disability. And it's possible thanks to the tremendous support of his grandparents.
Maxime uses the stairlift every day, he grew up and his weight becomes an obstacle for us and his grandparents who live on the 1st floor.
